Default Re: Ah, back when the land was free

Thats a nice film clip Prof. I have seen some of it before, but this is certainly a sharper copy. It is filmed from a streetcar running down Market St. heading to the Ferry Building. Even if the film has been sped up, he is making good time. I don't think you could travel that distance in that amount of time these days. The City is still a beautiful place to see,but the congestion is not to be believed. For those of us who live and work there, it's normal. I often wonder what tourist think when they get in the thick of it.
At least a couple of times a year I take the Old Blue truck back to the city for a run around town. For me, it's the best way to see the City. I like to let my mind wander and imagine how many times the ol' truck traveled those streets in the past. To many, I'm sure. Thanks
